Wonder how much more canon an get from the SL1 sensor. The sensor is only 1 part of the camera, but it is a key (a d often limiting part of the light gathering system). Will we see improvement in low light / high ISO ability? Higher FPS?

Could be canon's way to keep the 7d and 70d well separated inorder to charge more for the 7D

The sensor graded out worse than every other APS-C Canon is currently selling at DxO. While it's just one measure, they are just focusing on the sensor itself, so, there better be some damn impressive processing ability in the camera to shine up that turd.

The 70D will have the touchscreen stuff, of course. What else? -- with the same old 18 mp I guess I really don't care... Why wait so long to roll this out if it is the same-O same-O all over again?

Yeah, I'm honestly wondering what Canon is thinking sticking with the same sensor. I can get a 60D for <$600 right now, so, for a camera that will retail at nearly double that ($1099 or $1199 for the body), it'll need to have massively better build quality, frame rate, AF, etc for it to sell. And then the 7DII will have to be a whole step above that.

canon rumors FORUM

This rumor doesn't excite me. I'd like an APS-C for reach and second body, but I'm in no hurry. My next DSLR will have to have IQ at least on par, preferably better than, my 5DIII. So maybe the 7DII will deliver. I hope Canon takes the time to get it right.
